That'll be the highest for a few days. Julio's deal will pass that up, as will Amari Cooper's. In two years Thomas will likely be the 7th or 8th highest paid WR in the league and still producing in the top two or three.

I know you're right, but I still gagged a little when I saw the numbers.

But the Saints made him the first to break the barrier, and he should be able to make the car note without the repo man harassing him...

Don't see us paying Rankins beyond this year now because we have Onyemata, Lattimore, Ramczyk, Marcus Williams, Kamara and Anzalone to compensate...
